I can't believe people still think Bigfoot is real. It's obviously just a Yeti in a gorilla suit.

Those water coolers look nothing like a gorilla.
Every year in April, I used to check whether someone had uploaded a new video of a giant squid. I was always so excited! When I was growing up, these things were mythologized nearly to the same degree as unicorns or dragons, so seeing them, even in tatters and bobbing across the surface of the water like a mess of smelly pool noodles, was a nearly religious experience.
I quit this year because AI videos are all that I can find. I don’t need chopped up videos of giant squids stating that they’re “colossal squids” in uncanny AI cadence written by an AI and edited by an AI. I don’t need AI-produced replications of giant squids swimming or melting. I just want to find out whether any more scientific expeditions have filmed a creature I used to consider a legend.
We live in an era beyond objective, filmable truth, and that pisses me off.
It's so sad. I feel like we need to be hoarding all sorts of random media that was put out pre-AI, because it's flooding everything. Videos, music, gaming, historical photos/videos...
Random example: I have a folder of desktop wallpapers that I've been casually adding to for the last decade or so. Literally thousands of them by this point, but I haven't added anything recently because every source is inundated with AI generations now.
So when you going to share them? Setup a torrent and we'll seed
I may have to one of these days.
This is as good a time as any to recommend downloading a copy of Wikipedia! And if you already have your copy, please seed afterward!
I love seeding Wikipedia but it seems like nobody ever needs me to, there's always like 800 seeders and only 2-3 clients at most, who never connect.
Shrug
I don't even mind AI stuff existing, but there probably should be a tag for it
Out of curiosity, any particular reason you checked in April every year?
None, really. Started devouring every morsel of information I could a bit over a decade ago, until it turned into less than a trickle in April, and then I quit. Then April sprang back the year after, I remembered my compulsion, and I checked for more information again until there was nothing left. And then it turned into a tradition for me the year after
Bigfoot was the second shooter at JFK's assassination so he had to go into hiding but was subsequently killed by the CIA
CIA kills JFK.
CIA creates Bigfoot.
Bigfoot kills JFK.
CIA kills Bigfoot.
Some Nietzsche shit right there.
subsequently killed by the CIA
And the reverse vampires!
You mean those very tan people, you can only see in mirrors, who donate blood and love garlic and the lowercase t?
....Italians?
We're through the looking glass here people!
Where does The Rand Corporation fit into all of this again?
The true story: Fives “older self” fired the first shot, it got redirected back at him by „Days of Future Past“ Magneto. But then a SCP-1000 Bigfoot stepped in as the replacement sniper. World History is crazy.
They were mad bigfoot beat them to it.
And ghosts too. You'd think we'd all be up to our eyeballs in ghosts videos by now but no.
We all know why of course. Ghosts are just lazy. How can I be expected to believe in a group who clearly don't believe in themselves?
Edit: also bigfoot: "no way, those MFs will make we work a job. You ain't catching me with that!"
I feel like there was an uptick in ghost and similar unexplained phenomena sightings every time some new camera technology came out though just from people not understanding the new kinds of artifacts those medias produced.
This is because we have seen a lot of new tech that makes cameras water resistant/proof and technological advancements in submarines. No one's made a new backwoods proof camera yet.
Keep Bigfoot’s name out of your filthy mouth.
Are you talking about Terry?
I hate to say it, but this graph just made the most compelling argument against the noble Squatch I've ever seen. Not that I believed, but this has to be the ultimate hope-killer for true believers.
I was convinced a long time ago when someone pointed out to me that we've never found a single corpse, set of bones, fossil, etc. of any kind of bigfoot/yeti/etc. ever.
Unlabled chart. Smh
Keep this graph away from my dad. Let the poor man believe!
Oh god, the future is going to be full of cameras and images of giant squids.
Bruce Schnier's heaven
And ufos too.
We got a lot better at identifying FOs. APs too.
low quality camera: holy shit what is that? is that an alien?!?! where is my cow?? the aliens took it!!!!
high quality camera: holy shit why is there a hubcap going to space at 999999999mph???
teenagers on TikTok: TODAY WE SRE TAKING THIS COW TO MCDONALD'S!!!!!
Well, now we get blurry videos from $300m military jets. They are on the case.
I wonder how this graph will be affected by AI image generation
50% year-on-year increase of bigfoot sightings in mcdonalds
Whoa, I would have never guessed bigfoot onlyfans was so unpopular - at last it's a steady following.
(But it makes sense competing with giant tentacles.)
